It’s unfair to ignore the woman lied, to her agency and Mag and hang it on Meg. Why not the agency? Because there is no political gain in attacking the agency. The facts include the young woman’s lies. Willfully setting that aside is to promote a distortion of events.

Any one of us can be fooled or lied to. So unless being deceived disqualifies one to run, Meg got screwed by Gloria.

And if Meg was a stronger candidate, it wouldn’t have mattered. She wasn’t that strong a candidate, and she was running as a Republican, and Republicans are increasingly nativist and anti-immigration. She had a giant target sign on her.

Maybe buying elections isn’t the fair accompli that it appears!
